Blackalicious and Ben Harper // Brain Washers

Blackalicious and Ben Harper // Brain WashersBlackalicious and Ben Harper // Brain Washers

Did anyone catch Ben Harper backing Ringo Starr last night on The Daily Show? It’s sad to say, but Ben is too talented to be a part of that mess. Ringo’s live show is a complete train wreck. Jon Stewart must have been bummed out with the awkward performance by Ringo and company.

The Souljazz Orchestra // Rising Sun

The Souljazz Orchestra //  Rising Sun

The Souljazz Orchestra, is Afro-jazz at it’s best. Drawing on the rough, raw grooves of the ‘60s and ‘70s and effortlessly fusing soul, jazz, Afro and Latin rhythms within their music, they have moved forward the blueprint of Fela, Fania and the funk in entirely new ways, whilst keeping the vital analog grit intact. Great stuff.

For fans of Antibalas, Budos Band, Apples
